I actually finally broke the inner 26 spline Calmini anvil shaft. I was starting to think they were unbreakable. I had popped the front off the ground and to be perfectly honest I stayed on the gas too long when the front came down. I now have some custom 31 spline inner axles. I havent broke a cv since I built the new setup. The only cvs Ive broke are related to breaking inner tierods and the wheel overturns and breaks the cv. I have now switched the tie rods out to heims, so that should be cured now. I have also broke two of the shafts that go inbetween the inner and outer cv. They are welded and they break at the weld. It sounds a lot worse than it really is. As often and hard as I wheel this thing, Im pretty happy.

all things considered it really is amazing that you really only had minor challenges. and werent the tie rods stock items? i see guys with big buck items that break more and i know from what i see you are not a kitty kat with the throttle.

WOOO HOOO !!!!! I GOT MY CRAWL MAG!

Here is a comparison pic of the 26 spline and the new 31s.
